A leading Hobby Organization

The Central States Numismatic Society, founded in 1939, is one of the larger numismatic
organizations in the United States with membership fluctuating around 2,000. CSNS, as it is known
informally, operates in a 13 state Midwestern region but membership is open to residents of all
states and foreign countries.

States in the region are Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

CSNS Member Club's News

You are invited and encouraged to order five free
dvd's from the list recently mailed by Ray Lockwood, Central States Education Director. All
clubs are eligible for this free offer.

Also, clubs are requested to seriously consider donating numismatic books and publications to local
libraries. A $100 donation will yield $500 more from Central States to purchase additional library
books.

Finally, all CSNS clubs should check out the Central States speaker reimbursement policy found on
the education page of this website. This is yet another way that Central States is promoting
numismatic education at the local club level.
